My Genealogy DO-Over - A Year of Learning from Research Mistakes - free webinar by Thomas MacEntee now online for limited time

Another webinar for the ages by Thomas MacEntee today! The recording of today's webinar, "My Genealogy DO-Over - A Year of Learning from Research Mistakes" by the great Thomas MacEntee, is now available to view for free at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for a limited time. Lots of great comments:
  • Wonderful! I really enjoy hearing Thomas speak. I'm so glad he admits his past bad habits. I think pretty much every genealogist started out doing things wrong. And now he's leading us to do it right.
  • Thomas laid out a clear roadmap for how to do a reset and restart your genealogy to exploit everything you've learned about capturing accurate information and citing sources -- "if only I knew then what I know now."  In addition to the roadmap, he has so many useful tools, including his facebook group specifically for a do-over. Even if you don't want to do a complete reset, there are so many ideas and tools in this webinar, you will find something that will recharge your research.
  • Legacy gives the BEST webinars ever. And today's was one of the best of the best.
